When Did It Become Okay To Be A Racist Asshat?
I kinda hate the human race right now. If it’s not mean girls, senior edition, (yeah, if you ain’t got a walker and grey hair, you are so not cool), it’s asshats at the store.
Can someone please tell me when it became okay to be a racist jerk? I’m guessing around early November 2016, but that’s just a guess.
I’m a bit conflicted on this because I’m a huge fan of reality. I like my assholes right out where I can see them. But really?
Back when I was younger, before Trump, sorry, not sorry, racist asshats used to whisper quietly. They used to say shit like, “I’m not prejudiced but…” It was all quiet.
They knew it was something to be ashamed of.
Not so much now. There’s a toxic culture that has grown and it’s scary.
I live in a city with a large international population. A lot of people come here to study at either our college or our university. Most of them are people of colour.
I was in Walmart today. I wish I didn’t have to be there, but they have my puppy’s dog food for the cheapest price and I can’t afford ideals right now.
Anyway, an obviously Indian couple with a sweet baby, about I’m guessing 8 or 9 months old, were in front of me in…
